    All the good ones have been mentioned so i'll add Felix Trinidad. Especially at WW where he seemed to move better. I don't mind McCallum also.

    I always thought looked trinidad very awkward with shaky legs like a newborn deer but to each his own! He was certainly still a terrific fighter

    Instant reaction is Barrera, like when he slips a left hook and automatically dips to throw right-left hooks to the body... Automatic countering. Beautiful.

    Also Gomez. Fluid power punching at its finest.

    Joe Louis and Tyson always seemed to have another perfectly placed punch on deck as they threw the current one...

    Another vote for Floyd Patterson ... always looked poised and balanced; every punch had a purpose.
